Vaguely around Earth Occidental Standard Year 2014, the drift of interwebs lead my paths into collaboration course with Chaos Nova
universe. I have since run a character in the forum-based
space opera
RPG (dispensing unsolicited advice about universe, life,
and everything in the process), yapped along to countless online
gaming sessions, and dug deep into the creative flow with editing,
co-writing, and worldbuilding.

This is one of those posts where I show the snippets of me and Knux working on "Seeker" edits over Skype. Here are links to the previous posts in the series: one, two, three, four, five.

Here is a handful of moments from the latest editing-discussion session(s). The spoiler-free snippets are getting scarcer now that we've reached to the middle of the book, bumping into a lot of plot points that are better discovered than told in advance.

For starters, two micro-excerpts, followed by shameless gloating.

Then we get snooty with the platform that feeds us.

A brief dive into how the worldbuilding has changed sine the first draft.

I play therefore I learn. I learn therefore I am. Hey, I like where this is going!

The long version. I was born into eighties in Soviet Estonia, and raised by geeks. (Learning by observation - check.) As little girl, the little access I had to computers and computer games, kindled an inescapable yearning. (Learning by coveting - check.) The decades spent in attempts to navigate the terrains of fatigue, depression, and anxiety while still trying to create some content and enjoy my being, have made me quite skilled in recognizing my talents, my boundaries, and the strategies to manage them. (Learning by doing - check.) I didn't make a good teacher but I can be a wicked once-in-a-while instructor; and my workings in instructional design make me think I'm kinda good at it. (Learning by making mistakes - check.) In the present day I've set myself a new long-term puzzle to solve: how to tweak my existing skills in such a way that I could take part in creating video games myself? (Courage to make mistakes - check.)
